The Zodiac Killer, the only movie in history made explicitly to catch a serial killer, has received a new 4K transfer and is heading our way in July courtesy of AGFA and Something Weird Video. We have all the details you need, including the trailer and pre-order links!
From the Press Release:
AGFA (American Genre Film Archive), a non-profit that preserves the legacy of genre films, is pleased to announce details for THE ZODIAC KILLER Blu-ray, which will be released on July 25, 2017. This is the first title of dozens in our collaboration with Something Weird Video following a successful 2015 Kickstarter campaign.
Directed by Tom Hanson, who had previously owned a chain of Pizza Man restaurants, THE ZODIAC KILLER was made to capture the real-life Zodiac Killer. That plan didn’t work. Instead, we got the most outrageous and compelling “tabloid horror” vortex in the history of planet Earth. And beyond. During theatrical screenings, Hanson constructed in-theater “traps” to lure the killer from hiding. These included the use of an ice cream freezer filled with rent-a-cops and a raffle with a motorcycle as a prize.
You won’t get insight like this by watching a David Fincher movie. But you will get it while watching THE ZODIAC KILLER.
Special features on the Blu-ray include:
– New 4K scan from the only surviving 16mm blow-up elements
– Commentary track with Tom Hanson, Manny Nedwick, and more
– Interview with director Tom Hanson and actor Manny Nedwick
– Tabloid-horror trailers from the AGFA archive
– Liner notes and director Tom Hanson interview by Chris Poggiali of TEMPLE OF SCHLOCK
– Reversible cover art
– Bonus movie: ANOTHER SON OF SAM (1977) – new 2K scan from a 35mm theatrical print
The Zodiac Killer is now available for pre-order at the MVD Shop and on Amazon.
